AVI Series 21 MC4 Reference CD player (early Lab Series)

Photos to come later...

Up for sale is my AVI Series 21 MC4 Reference 24bit CD player! Mint condition complete with remote, manual and full packing.

If you know your AVI, you'll recognise the Series 21 as the Lab series which is very highly regarded. Yet this is a rare early version styled to match the S2000 series before the style change.

The internals are the same as the Lab Series other than a different transport mech (in comparison it looks sturdier than the later versions) and using a slightly different output board layout with the 24-bit Crystal CS4390 DAC.

Sounds fantastic - very natural and neutral sounding with great detail, wide soundstage, portraying the music effortlessly. The 24 bit DAC also means that music recorded at 20bit+ and downsampled with the right dither algorithm to CD can be replayed at its full 19-bit effective resolution.

Asking £600 plus postage (which should be relatively cheap in the UK) or collected or I could deliver for fuel costs.
